You know it’s a good Easter when, at the end of the night, all of your guests have fallen asleep on your couches.  I can’t say enough about how Easter was exactly what I wanted it to be.  It wasn’t about traveling, it wasn’t about family, it wasn’t about feeling uncomfortable, it was about being who I am and spending time with friends.  It was about good food, mimosa’s, decent wine.  Let’s face it folks, I’m not rich enough to buy the real fancy stuff.  But give me 1.5 Liter bottle of some $11 wine and I’m down.  

When the help of my roommate I juiced lots of orange and some grapefruit for fresh juice for our mimosa’s.  One trick I learned was you should pour the juice in the glass before you pour the bubbly in because otherwise it will just fizz all over the place.

The way I handled Easter was a little different this year.  We decided we would have multiple people do multiple things, a pot luck I guess.  One of my friends made Irish Soda bread and dessert.  Another friend brought Osso Bucco and vegetables, I made a ham, salad and chocolate bread french toast.

My friend made these desserts that were a peanut butter mixture dipped in chocolate.  The recipe is an old family recipe and I’ve been told there is no way I’ll get it.  Ugh, I’m not one to give up though.

She used a process of making whatever this mixture is and then she cooled them.  I know it’s got peanut butter in it.  Then she dipped them in chocolate.

Since we had bacon left over we also dipped a few pieces of bacon in the pan.  As I said before it was one of the most enjoyable Easter’s I’ve had in a long time. We even made our own butter!  But I think that deserves it’s own post or even it’s own video!  I’ll leave you with a few more pictures!  Have a great day!
